Watch: There Were (a Lot) More Onscreen Deaths in the Star Wars Trilogy Than You Thought

A comprehensive supercut

How many people do you think died in the original Star Wars trilogy? Whatever number you have in your head, it's more than that. A new supercut from Digg—set, oddly, to Girl Talk's "Play Your Part Pt. 1"—impressively catalogs every onscreen death from A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. There are... a lot of them, and not surprisingly they pretty much all come by some form of laser, whether it's the Death Star blowing up the entire planet of Alderaan and all two billion of its inhabitants, or the countless fatalities by handheld blasters, ship-mounted laser canons, and, of course, lightsabers. In the end, our innocent eyes witnessed 2,005,645,868 people eat it over the course of the original trilogy. Watch them all above.
